Fro's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Once When I Was A Kid SE]

LOL

Animation/Graphics - Very superior graphics and animation here man. Very smooth all around and very well drawn. Probably the best animated flash that I have seen today so far. I may just have to visit some of your other flashes if they are drawn this well.

Story/Concept - Wow, didn't see that coming at all. That usually deserves a 10/10 on it's own for complete originality, but the fact that it was so funny I knew it couldn't be any less than a 10/10 from me. You had great originality, humor, and a great surprise factor. I just thought he was going to talk about getting a boner or something like that.

Audio - Good voice acting, good sound effects, good music, etc... Nothing wrong with the audio at all.

Overall - It really made me laugh. Great job and I'm sure I'll come by and check out some of your other flashes also.

Man, thanks a lot we work hard and improve with each flash and it is so good to see that it's paying off when people enjoy our stuff! Seriously though, we're pouring heart and SOUL into Mark of the Beast Snack which for now you can only watch the Intro / Opening but we're finishing up on the voice acting and sound effects on the first episode so it's coming soon! Thanks for the good review and for watching! If you add us to your faves we'll contact you anytime we release something new via PM *unless of course you ask us not to* Thanks once again

[Join The Red Bull Collab!]

Nicely done.

Animation/Graphics - Very nicely drawn and animated. If the collab is full of things like this then I'm sure it will end up being very good. The animation was really smooth.

Story/Concept - I've always seen some advertisement flashes like this before, but I never really saw one that was this well animated. So of course if I was good with flash I wouldn't think twice about joining this collab. Of course I'm not so you don't have to worry about me joining. :P

Audio - Good audio and good sound effects all around.

Overall - A good advertisement and I hope that your collab turns out well.

Vincoid responds:

Thanks a lot Corky, I appreciate it.

I'll probably be animating a few parts for the collab myself, and I trust the quality of the entire thing will turn out great.

Too bad you're not an animator, though you make it up by being generally awesome :P

Thanks again for the review and the compliments ;D

[Warthog flash project]

Not bad.

Animation/Graphics - The animation wasn't too bad itself. I recommend working on the small animations sometimes though. Things that can really add to a flash such as the legs walking as a part of your flash. Or arm movements. You had the very basic tweens it looked like. I myself haven't mastered walking or things like that yet, so as you probably know and as I know, they take practice. A couple of things could have been a little bit better drawn such as the button that you had us push.

Story/Concept - I like the Respawn button instead of the play button, and the fact that you had us push buttons that were actually from the game to advance into the flash. A little short, but I see you had limited time. Probably getting in two or three kills before he died would have made the flash just a bit more interesting. It was just kind of your basic concept so far. Perhaps in the future you can develop a story line.

Audio - I actually didn't like the audio that you had chosen for this submission. Was there a certain reason you choice that? Oh well, it's just my opinion that it didn't fit the flash very well. Other things like sound effects were pretty decent.

Overall - Very basic, very simple, etc... I'm sure if you had more time on this that you could have gotten more done and everything. Keep working and practicing and I'm sure your flash skills will improve.

Hybrid-Of-Souls responds:

Animation/graphics - getting the movement to look better probably would've taken a lof of time, given the limited time I had to work against.

Story/concept - I was even thinking of having the driver run someone over, but I didn't go through with it for some reason...eh...

Audio - I didn't want to include the typical music, so I went 8-bit. Sorry you didn't like it though.

Overall - Thanks for reviewing.

[MSLand C3E2]

Much better!

Animation/Graphics - The animation was pretty smooth. I really liked that you added more color in these ones because you lacked in color in the other flashes that I have reviewed so far. I think it looks much better this way.

Story/Content - I liked the story. Your have a good job making an original story line and plot. It's very original all around and some of this was kind of funny.

Audio - I think that you need to add more sound effects and voices to your flash. This would probably make it much better. Especially the part where he was nailing up the door with boards. I think that would have been much better with hammering noises.

Overall - I liked it better than your other flashes. Keep up the good work.

Now the French version of my review.

Animation/Graphiques - L'animation est plutot douce et est bien fluide. J'ai bien aimé que tu ai ajouté plus de couleurs parceque, sur tes autres flashes que j'ai noté, ca manquait vraiment de couleurs. Je pense que ca ressort bien mieux comme ca :).

Histoire/Contenu - J'ai aimé l'histoire. Tu fait du bon travail en inventant tes propres trames et histoires. C'est très original et certaines parties étaient plutôt marrantes.

Audio - I pense que tu devrais ajouter plus d'effets de son et de voix dans des flashes, ceci les améliorerai beaucoup. Spécialement au moment quand le personnage bloque la porte avec des planches, ça aurait été bien d'ajouter des bruits de marteau.

Synthèse - J'ai préféré celui là à tes autres flashes. Continu comme ça!

Grimasen responds:

Salut et merci pour la critique. A nouveau, je te remercie beaucoup d'en avoir fait une version française.

[MilkShake Land Ch. 3 Ep 1]

Not bad at all.

Animation/Graphics - Your drawing skill isn't that bad at all. You could probably work on it a little bit, but it's pretty good. Perhaps adding more colors will make it a little better to watch? Your animation was pretty smooth overall.

Story/Content - A nice music video to watch. Nothing too much here though. Perhaps could have been a little longer. It wasn't too exciting or too fun to watch, but it wasn't bad either. If it was a little longer than maybe I think it could have been better to watch.

Audio - The song selected was pretty good and you did a decent job of timing the animation of the mouth with the words.

Overall - Being a little longer would probably make it better to watch, but other than that it's pretty good.

Now in French because I know you speak French.

Animation/Graphiques - Ton habilité à dessiner n'est pas mal du tout. Tu pourrais probablement travailler un petit peu là dessus mais c'est plutôt bien. Peut être qu'ajouter plus de couleurs rendrait ton flash plus sympa à voir, nan? En general, bonne technique d'animation.

Histoire - Contenu - Une bonne "music video". Rien de vraiment impressionnant par contre. Ca aurait pu être un peu plus long. Ce n'etait pas très exitant ou amusant à regarder mais ce n'etait pas mauvais non plus. Si ton flash avait été à peine plus long, il aurait pu être vraiment plus intéressant.

Audio - La chason que tu a choisi est vraiment bien et t'a fait un bon boulot en la synchronisant les paroles avec l'animation de la bouche du personnage.

Synthèse - Être un peu plus long aurait rendu ton flash meilleur à regarder mais à part ça, c'est pas mal du tout!

Grimasen responds:

Salut, merci. Vraiment sympa d'avoir fait une version française de ta critique.

[My Zelda Cd-i cutscenes]

Your flashes...

Are so hard to review. D: It's extremely hard to review someones flashes when they are making them bad on purpose. Apparently the game was bad or something and you were just making fun of how bad it was, but it's still not entertaining to watch whatsoever. Some of your flashes have made me laugh before, but this really had no humor in it at all. Again, perhaps to someone that has played the game before, but not to me.

The animation for the most part wasn't very good. The drawings were very rough and very simple. Again, I know that you were doing this on purpose, but usually it should be funny in someway. I just couldn't find how it was.

Of course there really isn't any story or anything behind it. That's probably because of the poor audio, which again you did on purpose, but it was so bad that I could only understand the word "map" during the entire thing.

Anyway, it's extremely hard to review and it's a pain to review.

[The Many Mario's Collab]

Good collab.

Animation/Graphics - Pretty good. The ones that were sprites were done pretty smoothly and I really enjoyed the ones that were drawn. Almost all of them, if not all of them, were perfectly fine in terms of animation and graphics. You really got a good handful of artists here.

Story/Content - I'd have to say that my favorite scene was the one with the toys. I'd like to see that scene go on a little bit longer because it was probably the best. Some weren't the best, but most were done pretty well. Most were pretty humorous too. So good job all around to everyone.

Audio - For the most part the voice acting was good. I thought that it was better in a couple of places than others. The sound effects and music was synced up pretty well.

Overall - A good collab with a couple of funny scenes in it. Probably worth a 10 and I'm going to give it a 10.

[Madness 003. Part 2.]

Needs a lot of work.

Animation/Graphics - Things weren't done very well here at all. The pictures, as it seems you have used pictures and not sprites, are of bad quality. Next time make sprites or just simple find a sprite sheet of madness somewhere online. I think that the picture was kind of too zoomed out during the regular fight too. I do like how you zoomed in during a part of the fight, but the quality of the picture was twice as bad when you did zoom in. The animation itself was smooth now and then, but for the most part it really needed to be worked on. Kind of choppy and not very smooth at all.

Story/Content - Why make this? It's exactly like 1,000 other submissions on this site. I understand if you are just practicing, but there isn't any reason to submit this unless you want to see how much you have improved since you have started making flash or something like that. That being said the submission was too short. This is a two part submission and even if you put the two parts together it is still way to short. Perhaps you should put together about 10 episodes or maybe even more before submitting them. And their really isn't any story at all. Perhaps actually adding one instead of the generic Madness fight would set your flash apart from the other thousands of Madness submissions on this site.

Audio - The audio wasn't timed well at all. It could have used better timing and probably the music too. A nice Madness theme song in the background wouldn't hurt or anything. Naturally with a longer flash you would need more audio and more music so in the future this section of your flash could be a little bit better, but only if you sync it much better.

Overall - The animation/graphics are pretty bad and need work on, their needs to be something that sets it apart from the other thousands of Madness movies, and the audio needs to be worked on to make it better.

Good luck on any upcoming flash submissions.

[Ngpros N' Ngnoobs]

Not that bad.

Animation/Graphics - The animation actually wasn't too bad. Very smooth actually. The drawings were very simple, but that's exactly what was needed in this flash. The colors used were perfectly fine and I rather the blank white background in this submission. It gives it the simple touch that it needs.

Story - I did laugh. It was a pretty funny flash all around. The idea was pretty funny because that is almost exactly what a NG noob sounds like. Actually it is exactly what one would sound like. It sounds like me to be honest in terms of knowledge of flash. (I suck at flash, I would love to be able to make something as good as this)

Audio - The Noobs voice was rather funny. Perhaps that's what made me laugh during the submission also. The other voice was pretty good. Kind of laid back and calm.

Overall - Not a bad flash and pretty comical. Worth a watch in my opinion.

Phalanx responds:

Thanks man.

[Some Christmas Spirit]

Hmm

I know you say don't judge this on length, but it is kind of hard to do with something this short. Oh well, I understand that people don't always have the time to do what they want so of course I will be a little lenient.

The graphics/drawing weren't the best. I think you could have worked on them a little bit and it didn't really contain a lot of animation. To make it a little better I suggest adding more content by adding more animation. This will also lengthen your flash.

The audio wasn't the best either, but I guess it got the job done for the flash.

Overall, needs a little bit of work. I suggest starting your flash a little sooner for Xmas next year. ;)

C-Doodlez-Man responds:

yeah. i was in a flash slump and for some reason it never occured to me to make a christmas animation until the last secod.
